Missouri photographer Staci Dabney got an incredible story while taking some rather unique engagement pictures.

When Seth Dixon decided to propose to his girlfriend, Ruth Salas, he picked a romantic spot to pop the question: a beautiful bridge over water in Kansas City's Loose Park.

But when Dixon opened that tiny velvet box, the unthinkable happened.

The ring flew out of the box, bouncing onto the bridge before slipping through the tiny cracks...and into the water below.

"All of a sudden this joyful moment took a rapid turn for disappointment," Dabney wrote on her Facebook page.

Not willing to let the ring go without a fight, Seth and Ruth's friends grabbed their goggles and dove in to search for the sparkly treasure. While the group didn't manage to find the ring, the ordeal left the happy couple with a heckuva story and some incredibly share-worthy pictures.

"This couple might not have the picture perfect engagement story but they do have a story they hope will bring joy and laughter to you as you read it," Dabney wrote. "Sometimes our love stories aren't always as perfect as we planned, but always work out in the end!"
